13,500 Drivers Caught Speeding on Welsh 20mph Roads

New data reveals 13,500 drivers caught speeding on 20mph roads in Wales last month.

The average speed for enforcement action was just over 28mph, with one motorist clocked at a whopping 85mph in north Wales! 😳

GoSafe’s September figures show:

43% of caught drivers attend speed awareness courses
95% of monitored vehicles drove at 25mph or less
Over 52,000 drivers caught since enforcement began

Meanwhile, Transport for Wales reports slightly longer journey times on most 20mph routes: “Generally motorists are facing two minutes added to journey times,” they stated.

However, there’s a silver lining – less variability in journey times means greater certainty for travellers.

Lee Waters, Deputy Minister for Climate Change, commented: “The 20mph default speed limit is designed to save lives and make our communities safer places to live, work and play.”
